Monitor image


The image shot by the camera is shown here. There are two modes for on-screen pan/tilt/zoom operation using a mouse: Area zoom mode and Vector dragging mode. In the Area zoom mode, clicking will pan or tilt the camera towards the center of the image. The Area zoom will move the camera in the direction that displays the area selected by the operator and zooms in at the same time. The operator can choose a part of the image to view and zoom in by surrounding an area with a frame by dragging the mouse. In the Vector dragging mode, the camera pans or tilts in the dragged direction. How long you drag the mouse determines the speed. Releasing the button on the mouse after dragging stops the panning or tilting of the camera. You can also use the camera control panel bar to pan or tilt. The zoom operation using the mouse wheel is available in all modes.

Area zoom

• Pan/Tilt limitation The solid PTZ function controls streaming by cropping or reducing a maximum size image. Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the WIDE setting. • Zoom limitation The solid PTZ function enables you to display an area of 1/16 the maximum image size (Aspect ratio: 1:4), when zoomed in at the TELE setting. An image cannot be enlarged beyond this. And the whole area shot in the maximum image size will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the WIDE setting. The solid PTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally; therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be observed at the TELE setting. • The Plug-in free viewer display method will be selected automatically.

Controlling via the control panel (Operation common to Area zoom mode and Vector dragging mode)

Note

The four edges of the image may be dark depending on the zoom position. This is a phenomenon related to the structure of the camera, and does not cause a problem.

Panning and tilting by clicking the monitor image (Area zoom mode only)


Notes

Zoom control Click to zoom out, and click to zoom in. Zooming continues while the button remains pressed.

Click on the monitor image, and the camera moves so that the clicked portion is positioned at the center of the display.

Panning, tilting and zooming by specifying the area (Area zoom mode only) Click and hold the left button of the mouse on the monitor image, and drag the mouse diagonally to draw a red frame around the portion you want to enlarge. The camera moves so that framed portion is positioned at the center of the display and is zoomed in.

You can operate the camera direction and zoom by using the control panel for the monitor image currently displayed.

Note

When the specified area is zoomed in, the center may be shifted or some portion of the image may appear out of the monitor image section. In this case, click the point you want to move to the center or click the arrow button on the camera control panel. Pan/Tilt control Click the arrow button in the direction in which you want to move the camera. Keep it pressed to move the camera continuously. To return to the home position, click .


15

Panning and tilting by dragging the screen (Vector dragging mode only) When you click on the starting point on the image and drag to the end point, the camera pans/tilts in the direction of the arrow from the starting point to the end point. The speed of operation is determined by the length of arrow. Releasing the button on the mouse stops the panning/tilting of the camera.

Switching Transmission Mode You can change the transmission mode for video/audio data. This function can be used when the video codec mode is set to H.264 and the ActiveX viewer is used.


Note

The function may not operate correctly if you use personal firewall software or antivirus software on your computer. In that case, disable the software or select the TCP mode.

1 Using pan/tilt/zoom operations with the displayed control bar (PTZ Control bar only)

Pan/Tilt operations Click the arrow of the direction you wish to move the camera. Continue clicking on the arrow to keep moving the direction of the camera. Zoom operation Click to zoom out, click to zoom in. The zoom operation continues while you are clicking on the button.

Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the Connection drop-down list in the Other panel.

TCP: This is normally selected. When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In an environment capable of reading Web pages, you can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the TCP port. Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio communications. Since RTP is the protocol for running video/audio data, the video/audio playback is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If a firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, or depending on the network environment, video/audio may not play back properly when Unicast is selected. In this case, select TCP. Multicast: This protocol is selectable when Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the Video / Audio menu or Video menu is set to Enable. When Multicast is selected as the transmission port, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio transmission. By selecting it, the network transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a multicast or firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, video/audio may not play back properly. In this case, select TCP or Unicast. Note

When connecting via a proxy server, neither Unicast nor Multicast can be selected.
